Wt

When applying a WDateEdit to a WTemplateFormView, the default date-format coming out of the editor appears to be in european format, where as the SQL/Model/boost functions are handling the WDate format using WLocale. This creates a problem when attempting to write a WDateEdit to a back-end SQL with the column defined as a WDate type.

To fix the problem within my application I had to create the WDateEdit widget as follows:

539   auto retVal = new Wt::WDateEdit();·

541   retVal-> setFormat( Wt::WApplication::instance()-> locale().dateFormat() );·

543   return retVal;·
